I need to know how to cast types. Here's my basic problem:
I'm trying to:
update products set list_price = gsa_price * 1.1 where list_price =
gsa_price;
The error I get back is:
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '*' for types 'numeric' and
'float8' You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
So, I'm assuming that I need to cast the value 1.1 as a numeric so that I
will be multiplying a numeric times a numeric.
Then I realized I had no idea what the syntax to do the cast was.
Thanks for info
